How Much Longer

How long must I cry inside How many times must I die in this life How often will I fall short How many dreams must I abort How many empty nights must I endure How many second guesses before I am sure How long will this nothingness last About as long as this emptiness has How much longer must I be alone How much longer can I hold my own On what day will I feel alright On what day will I have my white knight In which hour will I feel content At which time will I stop my descent When can I expect a blessed event How much longer can this go on How much more can this sorrow encroach upon

"On what day will I feel alright?"- I cannot tell you how much I relate to this one simple, yet powerful verse. I relate to the whole piece in fact, but that one line struck a chord in my heart and soul. Thank you for that :)

As long as God decides it to. Our faith's all we have to get us through. Tomorrow comes, but a day too late. From birth till death, heaven holds our fate. A heart won't hear these words of wisdom. So your mind must take charge of what's to come. You asked the question to air your grievance. As long as you live, it wil never make sense. Thanks for stopping by April.
